world premiere day, I'm up early getting coffee for the gals and smoking, it has become impossible in the free united states to rent a hotel room and smoke in it. I sit by the post office on clark and adams, admiring the post office itself. It's a one story structure 30 feet high, but the interior is all plywood walls 16 feet high, polished brass mail boxes, and spherical ceiling lighting, it all makes for a better bpx.[I find out later it's mies van der roe] I take the coffee up and plug in my dead phone, which immediately starts ringing, jai [co-producer] is at the airport with Courtney [actor] and Lauren [ad and actor], a minute later andrew calls [an editor and script supervisor]/ Everyone's here, I arrange to meet everyone in front of the theater at 4pm. Jai arrives from midway and we all have breakfast at the marquette inn on w. adams, jai orders a beer, not a good sign.
At 4pm in front of the theater only Daisy and Andrew show, jai is stuck in traffic, what traffic? Lauren courtney swear they will be at the hotel at 6pm. The three of us, w/ devin added, go in search of a fed ex kinkos open to make more post cards, jai shows up at six, I tell him to introduce himself to the festival director Brian and pass out cards.
At six fifteen, lauren and courtney show at the hotel, and they go upstairs to shower and dress. At the cinema everyone is there and Brian introduces the film, I say a few words and the movie begins in silence, NO SOUND, that is soon fixed and it begins again, the sound plays a little hot but the film runs without interference for the next 85 minutes, towards the end I run out to wiz and get back in the theater as the credits are finishing, Jai runs up to the stage hijacks the mike and proceeds to give a rambling speech about production, All the horrors of production are now playing live on the stage, he reduces the film to let's all get drunk. We finally all get on stage and I try salvage what I can.
Afterwards everybody is screaming at me.
ouch, ouch and ouch again.
